Just to change things up for the sake of change, why not change your new mail notification sound? Odds are you are pretty tired of the standard sound, so make a change.
You can find numerous pages on the web (this one for example) which contain sounds ideal for new message notifications. Personally, I like to go with the famous Law & Order ‘two knocks’ sound.
I’m not sure about other clients, but if you use Outlook, you can change the sound by going to Control Panel > Sounds and then change the ‘New Mail Notification’ option.
